I can state several reasons as to why I have NOT spent money.

Until I am able to stay connected longer than 10-15 minutes without being disconnected (server 28), and I am NOT the only person.

Until I am able to progress in the game without spending a month farming the medals for the next promotion.

Until Evony decides to show more effort to inform its player base of changes and communicate when someone sends a bug report, billing dispute or any other matter similar to this.

So, your question, why WOULD I spend money....to get mike scripts, advanced teleports and/or speedup items would probably be my reasoning.
